hired girl was not As good As she ought
To be. and that she was silently playing

CHAPTER VI.
ADOPTING MRS. ARNOLD s ?LAN.

| Mrs. Stuart felt not Il little annoyed
at the interview with Mrs. Arnold. She
! dismissed any thought of evil on
Hclen's part. save perhaps a desire to
marry into a good family and secure 4
home for herself and brother. She
could not blame the poor girl for that,
for she had hard time. dear knows =
but then. she didn't want her marrying
into :hcir family, and especially the son
of whom she was so proud. Now. il
she should marry Clarence, it might do.
Clarence was 10 be :. plain farmer, and
Helen would make "some farmer a

he was about rs big fool as any other
boy.
Deluded man. did he suppose love
could be educated out of the human
heart, and did he suppose he could add
one atom of wisdom to q love-sick
youth?
Warren's parents did not forbid his
frequent attentions to Helen in direct
words; they were too wise for that; but
they did every thing they could to dis
courage them. and tried to find some
thing for him to do to keep him away
from the kitchen. Mr.. Stuart grew
sullen. and even cross, to the little Grip
pied boy whom he had fondled and
petted before. Mrs. Stuart, good wom-
an. was kind to both Helen and her
little brother She knew it was not the
poor girls fault.
Helen was quick TO perceive that
Warren's manner toward her was caus-
ing his parents uneasiness. and appre-
ciated the fact that hired girl for 4
daughter-in-law fell far below the ambi-
ton Of the Stuarts. She kept away
from church for two Sabbaths. and
when she went on the third, Warren,
who had set parental vigilance at def
ance. overlook her and accompanied
her to church against her protest. On
the way home she sought to avoid con-
versation with him. but as they paused
at the rear gate he caught her hand and
said:
Helen. love You. l can't help it ::
I don't care if the whole world knows
it. Do You love me in return ~
She east frightened. appealing

ana said: "Oh do not talk SO. it is
it is wicked" and bursting into tears
broke away from him and ran to the
kitchen.
Ii Warren had the opposition of his
parents. he had the sympathy of his
sweet. though mischievous. sister Rose.
She was quick to discern her brothers
fondness for Helen. and already know
ing her good qualities resolved in her
way to help them. Every young fellow
in love is almost sure to find sympa-
thetic friend in his sister.

a gentle inclination to the south ana east
is the warmest, will give the earliest vege-
tables, and be best for corn, melons,
tomatoes etc, but it suffers more from n
spring or early fall frost, because of re
ceiving the direct rays Of the morning
sun An inclination TO the north and
west is later, suffers less in Il drought, and
is the best for peas, cabbage, lettuce, etc
So it is an advantage in a large garden to
have both these exposures but for small
gardens u gentle inclination to the south
and east or a level surface is the best.
The arrangement of n small garden
when most or all of the work is done by
hand, is matter of taste, but ON the
farm ii is quite important to have the
garden SO arranged that most of the work
can be done by horse power.

Cause of Barren Vines.

Professor Augur, who has made IL study
of questions pertaining to the physiology
of plants, explains the chief cause of bar
renness of some wild vines to be unseXu-
ality. In some cases the antherS are de
fectiye, with a good stigma, in which case
planting a fertile vine which is perfect in
bloom and that is biseXual, like the Con
cord, will induce full prOductiveness by
cross fertilization; it, as is sometimes the
case, the stigma is defective, the fertile
male pollen will be wholly imperative
and no influence of culture or pruning
will reach the case with any certainty,
and the vine had better he abandoned and
a better one put in its place.
